We had a terrible experience staying in this place. Room was dirty hairs around the table, smelly room with used pillow cases and sheets, we were so disappointed we as soon as we entered the room and saw these mess. I was hearing dog barking most of the time from next room. Totally opposite of what we were expecting for that high pay with that bad condition . Ruined our trip.

Do Not Stay Here!

Based on reviews here we choose to stay at harbor view inn. Big mistake!! The pictures of the property are deceiving. Room was small, refrigerator made a ton of noise so unplugged it, bed too soft and saggy, wall fireplace didn’t work, refills were needed of toiletries, there are no robes, WiFi was poor. On top of all this the walls are so lacking insulation or soundproofing you can hear your neighbors talking, having sex, and snoring. The snoring the second night kept me awake. The inn provides ear plugs but they don’t work. They could fix this with acoustic wallboard. And not much water pressure in the shower. The only positive about this place is it has been updated fixtures and furnishings and it was less expensive than most in the area. But it’s in LaGranada not close to downtown Half Moon Bay or beaches. You can only walk to the harbor. No beach there. It was not worth the money we spent. Never again would I stay there.
